Tropical Cyclone Zane heading to Cape York Peninsula [1]

Weatherzone, By: Rob Sharpe, 05/01/2013

Zane should be the first tropical cyclone in seven years to cross Queensland's Cape York Peninsula, likely reaching category three. Tropical Cyclone Zane formed off the Queensland coast on Tuesday morning as it quickly developed and sped westwards. The cyclone will move west-northwest and should cross the coast between Orford Ness and Lockhart River late on Wednesday as a category two or three cyclone.

The last time a tropical cyclone crossed the Peninsula was in April 2006 when Severe Tropical Cyclone Monica crossed just south of Lockhart River as a category three system.
